Guitar Center: Pre-Black Friday Sale
With hearty discounts on guitars from Fender and Gibson to a slew of pianos, drum kits, accessories, and more, there is no need to wait until Black Friday to grab a bargain.
As you can imagine, this sale includes a wealth of discounted goodies. So, to make this a little easier, we've hand-selected a few of our favorites.
First up, we have a whopping $700 off a Gibson Les Paul Traditional Pro V AAA Flame Top in Dark Purple Burst. The Traditional Pro V is about as versatile as a Les Paul gets, packing coil splits and out-of-phase switches, and comes in a luxurious purple finish. If you're in the market for a bonafide rock machine, this has to be your next guitar.
For those looking to keep the cost down without losing out on tone, the stunning limited-edition Epiphone Les Paul Custom Blackback in Antique Ivory is the guitar for you. This gorgeous single-cut is more than a pretty face, as the uniquely designed ProBucker neck pickup provides the warm, driving tone that has defined the Les Paul sound for over 60 years, while the ProBucker 3 bridge pickup delivers a hotter, more modern sound - and better yet, you can save $200 right now at Guitar Center.
Looking to make the jump from a tube amp to digital? Well, the Fender Tone Master Pro may be the unit for you. Featuring over 100 amp and effect models, over 6000 Fender-captured impulse responses, a 7-inch color touch-screen, a 60-second stereo looper, as well as four effects loops and ten proprietary footswitches, this unit is the best in its class for sure – and better yet, you can save $200!
